‘Come and see me,’ JFK wrote to alleged mistress in love letter set for auction
A love letter written by President John F. Kennedy is among the items being auctioned by Boston-based RR Auction, reports The Boston Globe.
Kennedy wrote the letter to one of his alleged mistresses, Mary Pinchot Meyer and signed it “J.” Meyer, a family friend and the wife of a CIA agent, was said to have paid frequent visits to the White House when Kennedy’s wife Jackie wasn’t home. The letter was likely written in October 1963, a month before his assassination.
“Why don’t you leave suburbia for once — come and see me — either here — or at the Cape next week or in Boston the 19th. I know it is unwise, irrational, and that you may hate it — on the other hand you may not — and I will love it,” Kennedy wrote.
Online bidding for the auction begins June 16.
